About .new

.new has 2 requirements: 1) HTTPS is required for all .new websites and 2) all .new domains (with the exception of domains registered during Sunrise) must be used for action generation or online content creation flows.

HTTPS Requirement

.new is a secure namespace, meaning that HTTPS is required for all .new websites. You can register your .new domain name now, but in order for it to work properly in browsers you must first configure HTTPS serving. To ensure your .new domain is compliant with this HTTPS requirement, SSL certificates are available for purchase through the Lexsynergy client control panel.
For more information about configuring HTTPS and obtaining an SSL certificate, please visit http://www.lexsynergy.com/ssl or email our 24/7 support team at support@lexsynergy.com.

Usage Restriction (does not apply to Sunrise applications)

.new is a restricted domain space in which all domains must be used for action generation or online content creation flows.
Domain names that do not comply with this requirement may be placed on server hold or deleted for non-compliance
.new domains must be active within 100 days from the registration date
Before registering your .new domain name please read the policy and enforcement terms available HERE.

Policy and Enforcement
Navigation to a .new domain must bring a user directly into the action generation or online creation flow. An exception is provided for services that require a user to be logged in: navigation to a .new domain may bring a logged-out user to a sign up or sign in page. After completing sign in and any other required authentication, the user must be brought directly into the action generation or online creation flow. A user that is already signed in must be brought immediately into the action flow.

Websites services that require an account in order to access content or undertake activities may register .new domain names, however, upon request access must be provided to Google Registry or its designee free-of-charge for the purpose of verifying compliance with this policy. Google Registry will actively enforce compliance. Non-compliant registrants will be notified by the Registry using the Registrars’ pass-through communication method. Should the first notice go unanswered for 15 days, the Registry will place the non-compliant name under server lock and send a second notice. If following further notices (for a minimum of 30 days total notice) no action is taken, the domain will be deleted. Remediation instructions will be provided to the registrants in the notice emails.

Eligibility Requirements

.new domains must meet the following requirements:

HTTPS is required for all .new websites

All .new domains (with the exception of domains registered during Sunrise) must be used for action generation or online content creation flows.

Google Registry will run a Limited Registration Period for .new where applicants will have to submit an application directly with Google Registry. Applications can be submitted here: https://whats.new/apply/ This process will ensure that only compliant use-cases will be populating the namespace. Applications will be evaluated in batches, with earlier batches prioritized over later batches with respect to domain allocation. First-come, first-served principles will not apply to applications within a single batch. In the event that multiple applicants in a batch submit compliant applications for a single domain name, the domain name will be allocated to the strongest use case based on evaluation by the Google Registry team. The batch evaluation dates are as follows: Batch 1: December 2, 2019 to January 5, 2020 Batch 2: January 6, 2020 to February 2, 2020 Batch 3: February 3, 2020 to March 1, 2020 Batch 4: March 2, 2020 to March 29, 2020 Batch 5: March 30, 2020 to April 26, 2020 Batch 6: April 27, 2020 to May 24, 2020 Batch 7: May 25, 2020 to June 21, 2020 Once your application has been approved, you will be issued a token.
